Digital Typography by Examples. LaTex Books & EPUB eBooks.
A. Biancardi, PhD, [email protected]
1 Introduction
Latex is an open source professional (digital) typesetting system where documents are obtained via a programmatic approach. It is an effective open-source typographic tool for scientists, mathematician and regular people. The Latex input file is written in a text editor and compiled to generate PDF Books, EPUB eBooks, an HTML documents, etc. The present book assumes a basic knowledge of LaTex, which is presented within my previous book titled “LaTeX by Examples. Basic Letters, Articles and Books. From Beginner to Advanced Users”.
The object of the present book is to offer an example-driven approach of the LaTex tools and packages for creating PDF books, EPUB eBooks and simple HTML documents. The present book offers gradual learning of LaTex via examples and ready-to-use commands for regular peoples. If you like “Digital Typography by LaTex Examples.” send me an email ([email protected]) for updates and discussions, suggestions and ideas. The book is organized as follows. Section 2 presents how to set up a Latex input file for PDF books. Section 3 presents basic Latex templates for creating EPUB eBooks. Finally, the appendix summarizes tools and information.
The mind map below sums up the LaTex key points discussed in this book.
2 Books
In this section we present the commands for setting up a LaTex input file for books. The latex input file can be compiled by using the open-source software MiKTeX. Alternatively, the latex input file can be compiled via shell by using the pdflatex command, i.e. “pdflatex test.tex”.
2.1 Introduction
Here we present the commands for setting up a LaTex input file for books. The PDF output and LaTex input file are shown above and below, respectively, while the following mind map summarizes the structure of the \documentclass[]{} command.
The mandatory and optional arguments for \usepackage[]{geometry} command are enclosed in square brackets, [], and in braces, {}, respectively. The key arguments are summarized within the mind map shown below.
\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage[a5paper, margin=18mm]{geometry}
\pagestyle{plain}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-3]
\end{document}
\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage[a5paper, margin=18mm, showframe]{geometry}
\pagestyle{plain}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\lipsum[2]
\lipsum[3]
\end{document}
The \usepackage{geometry} command provides advanced user interface to customize page style, e.g. headers, footers, margins, paper size. The optional arguments for \usepackage[]{geometry} command are summarized within the mind map shown below.
2.2 Margin and Foot Notes
Here we present the commands for setting up a margin and foot notes, via \marginpar{} and \footnote{} commands, respectively. The \usepackage{lipsum} command provides easy access to the dummy text called Lorem Ipsum as described within the appendix.
\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage[a5paper, margin=18mm, showframe]{geometry}
\pagestyle{plain}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]\marginpar{Lorem ipsum}
\lipsum[2]\marginpar{Ligula}
\lipsum[3]\marginpar{Malesuada}
\end{document}
\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage[a5paper, margin=18mm, rmargin=25mm, showframe]{geometry}
\pagestyle{plain}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]\marginpar{Lorem ipsum}
\lipsum[2]\marginpar{Ligula}
\lipsum[3]\marginpar{Malesuada}
\end{document}
\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage[a5paper, margin=18mm, rmargin=25mm]{geometry}
\pagestyle{plain}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]\marginpar{Lorem ipsum}
\lipsum[2]\marginpar{Ligula}
\lipsum[3]\marginpar{Malesuada}
\end{document}
\documentclass[oneside,11pt]{book}
\usepackage[a5paper, margin=18mm, rmargin=25mm]{geometry}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]\marginpar{Lorem ipsum}\footnote{\lipsum[4]}
\lipsum[2]\marginpar{Ligula}\footnote{\lipsum[5]}
\lipsum[3]\marginpar{Malesuada}\footnote{\lipsum[6]}
\lipsum[7-9]
